The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

In the tranquility of a wide range of training grounds. A young man holds a sword.

That said, the sword in its stance is not a real sword, but a wooden sword... a wooden sword, and even if you are injured to the extent that you normally meet, it is only like a bruise.

However, I shouldn't have expected much of a minor injury this time.

This is because the position of the young man standing in front of me is quite in the hall, or rather, it was such that I could understand at a glance that a fairly good swordsman would be seriously injured if he tasted it.

As for me, I have fought many different types of warriors and sorcerers since before, but in light of their memories, I can say that the young man is one of them.

That's true, but what I'm saying is not a big deal at all, it's pretty much up there.

After all, the kind of opponents I had to fight directly the previous time were limited to those who would just pull the gestures that were protecting me.

Now, whether it's a goblin or an orc, if there's such a monster in the realm, it's me going out to get rid of it, but it's hardly ever happened before.

After all, I spent most of my time fighting for power, so I never had time to think properly about the people.

In other words, I went out of my way to go to battle only when I had the last shot, that is, when I would destroy the enemy general with my own hands.

The enemies that appeared in front of me on those battlegrounds were naturally powerful warriors, and the young man in front of me now had a sense of intimidation comparable to those people.

"... I thought you were an ordinary staff member or a teacher, but... you seem to remember a lot of your skills?"

When I asked with a wooden sword, the young man replied with a smile.

"There are usually people like that, but it's a delicate time right now." Normally, they don't do their jobs at all during these hours, so they're not always there. So, if someone like you comes along, the bowl will come to me. I have about this much time. "

"... yes, it would have been easier for an ordinary instructor to deal with them."

I see? I'm sure you'll be able to do your best, right?

“You're right? But that would be great for me, too.”

This is not a lie.

There is a bit of a lie about the part where an ordinary instructor would have preferred the opponent.

Actually, I've come to the current time slot hoping that this person will be able to deal with me.

Yes, I know who this man is.

That's why I came at this time of day.

Well, I never thought I'd ever see you again.

In that case, I thought it would take some time for the purpose, but apparently I was lucky.

When I think about it, the young man asks me strangely.

"Why is that?"

If you start at a very low grade, it's a hassle to go up.

Nowadays, high grade and low grade enter the good.

However, considering the future, it is more convenient to pay more.

"Hmm...? I don't think it's a lie, but it seems to contain something." Can you tell me later? "

“Yeah, I might tell you if I feel like it.”

In response to my words, the young man shook his head to the side in amazement.

You must have realized that it was useless to ask any more questions.

And then there's only one thing to do.

"... okay, let's do it then."

"Yeah... let's go!"

Then I put my strength into the hand holding the wooden sword.

I felt it on the other side, and the loose air was full of tension.

I step off the ground, swing my sword, and attack the young man.

In the meantime, it was a blow that didn't strengthen my body.

It looks like it's going to happen, but it's not like I'm doing anything different.

It would be easier to take action if you showed me everything from the beginning about how I would fight, so the first thing to do is not let that happen.

In addition to that, there was also a subconscious view that if I made it possible to confirm my technology, the evaluation would also increase.

The young man, who didn't know I had such an idea, gave a slightly unfortunate look at my attack, but this is just the beginning.

As a matter of course, my slash was played by the young man, but he opened his eyes a little.

"...... it's sharper than I thought?"

I didn't use any physical reinforcements, but it was a blow from a woman, so I thought it might have been sweet.

Can you be careful?

"It's stupid. You could be a warrior if you're giving a blow like this." I can't be alarmed. "

It seems that the young man should not be devoted to receiving, or should he say that, and he begins to move his legs.

I guess I was thinking about continuing to receive it on the spot before.

However, it seemed to have made a difficult decision.

Nevertheless, the attacks emitted by the youth were also not physically strengthened.

The place where it came in was basically... that is, it started from a typical urgency, such as the head and abdomen, or the so-called easy-to-hit part.

This is the part where the warrior first learns to aim for it.

I play it one by one and avoid it again.

Without doing that, I could have switched to the offensive immediately, but I wanted to see the extent of the young man's power.

Because it changes the amount of power I have to show.

If you feel like it, I can use magic that can destroy every adventurer's union, but suddenly, it doesn't make sense to use such power that this young man can't understand.

Also, such magic shouldn't be used in exams that much to see its strength.

That's why it was a good look.

And after being attacked by a young man for a while, I realized that this young man was still calm.

Besides, there were enough signs of magic power in the young man's body.

In other words, it is highly likely that physical strengthening can also be used.

Of course, those with magical powers will wear them, but they have a good sense to handle them properly.

Many people claim to be sorcerers use it, but there are many situations where it is mainly used by others. When you use it on yourself, it is mainly to secure endurance, and it is rare to use it to increase your own attack power.

This is because when you use body strengthening poorly, you don't feel like you know how much force is applied to your body, and you put too much force or loosen it too much, and it doesn't hurt your body much.

However, those who normally make their living from melee combat... the so-called warriors instinctively know how to add and subtract, so they don't hurt themselves.

Therefore, having magic power and being able to use sorcery does not mean that you can fight to strengthen yourself directly. However, since the young man in front of you has enough power as a warrior, you should think that you can strengthen yourself.

If so, I can use it as well.

My physical strengthening rate is very different from the usual rate because I was well trained the previous time.

Also, even when I'm redoing it like this, it's a magic that I use quite a lot, so it's no exaggeration to say that I'm good at magic.

That's why, if you use it on someone you can't fight, you could be seriously injured, even with a wooden sword.

I was a little worried about the young man, but it would have been superfluous.

In the first place, adventurers and others have a living relationship with battle, and even though they can't strengthen their bodies by sorcery, there are many people who can use their fighting energy, which should be called natural body strengthening sorcery.

I chant quietly thinking it's time.

"... physical strengthening... [Prefortigo Shahal]"

This was the basic physical strengthening I usually use.

At the same time, I feel that my arm strength and endurance have increased.

Even if it's a stone now, it can be crushed.

I can't say it's too loud, but I think I heard chanting.

Young people are

”... you can use it after all, strengthen your body”

That's what I'm asking.

You can use it, right?

"Oh, was it leaking... my body strengthening [Prefortigo]?"

The youth also chanted.

It is commonly used in modern times, and it has a different rate of enhancement than mine.

Even so, there is still a difference between men and women in the physical ability of vegetables, so there should be enough to strike each other.

"I can't be alarmed..."

I kick the ground before the young man takes a firm stand.

It was okay to wait, but Walter said that the basics of battle were how to strike from the outside of the opponent's consciousness.

A few years ago, after the crusade of that Goblin legion, he taught me his skills, but Walter's combat skills were mostly secret, which is why all that thinking was based on it.

I had already shown the youth how to fight directly in front of me, so I wanted to show them the next battle that wasn't.

The youth seemed surprised that the quality of my movements had changed.

"... heh, you can fight like that, can't you?" With that move, I think I'll be able to take on the role of a scout... oops! It's very dangerous inside... "

I tried to change the trajectory of the sword along the way, but the young man avoided it dangerously while saying such a thing in his mouth.

After all, I'm pretty sure you've got a lot of strength.

It seems like we can't decide how to fight like this. As far as I'm concerned, I'm starting to want to unleash [Gehennom Meteorite], but it's a widespread annihilation magic, and it's not like using it in a city like this, and not in a building.

If I use it in the first place, it will destroy the building and make me a living person.

With a magic shield, I wouldn't have died, but it was a waste of time.

When asked what more to do, it seemed that nothing more could be done in this training ground.

Young people seem to have reached that conclusion again.

"... well, let's do this... oh yeah, the last blow!"

With that in mind, I've raised the level of movement by about two steps and waved my sword at my neck.

However, the attack is played by my magic shield.

Seeing that, the young man nodded convincedly,

"... yes, it seems that defense would be better." It won't be long before you become a good adventurer. "

That's what I said, putting down my weapon.

I look at it and ask.

"... do you think I can pass?"

Young people are

"Of course. In the first place, as an adventurer, it was enough to defeat Garz." Besides, if we drop you, no one will be able to join this Adventurer's Union. "

That's what I said with my shoulders shrugged.

Is that so?

"That's right." You... that's it. I think it's better to learn a little common sense. "

"... I've been told that a lot lately. I think there's some common sense."

"I suggest you change your perception... oops, that's right. For now, let's introduce ourselves. My name is Tristan Seim. You were...... Elaine, right?"

He gave me my name... and Tristan knows it because he saw the papers I gave to the officials. I nodded,

"Yes, that's right."

"... do you have a family name?"

I shook my head sideways because Tristan asked me that.

You decided not to.

"... I see. Well, I don't mind. The Adventurer's Union was the last place a rough man could reach. There were enough people with scratches on their shins. Now that there are more funny people like you, there's no problem."

Really?

"Really. There's only one thing the Adventurer's Union needs." That is, you can fulfill the request. Whoever can do that is welcome. I don't know if you're an obvious criminal... but you're not wanted. "

I answer with a laugh because I was told to do so in jest.

Fortunately for now.

Then there's no problem.

"By the way..."

Is there something?

"I know Tristan Seim by name, but is that Tristan Seim?"

"Didn't I tell you yet?"

"You didn't say that... you were right after all?"

"I see... if you're referring to me as the president of the Utopian Adventurer's Union, I'll tell you that's true."

Yes, Tristan Seim, he was the union leader of this Utopian Adventurer's Union and the person I wanted to meet.

◆◆◆◆◆

As a matter of fact, I knew most of this Tristan face and name.

That's because we've been seeing each other since we were quite old.

His appearance at that time is well known to him now.

In the past, I knew her like that, but she must have been very close to Lily.

Still, Lilly didn't seem to need any help to get the magic wand, but, well, I can't imitate Lilly's crowning stone.

That's why I wanted to ask Tristan for help.

"... now that your registration is complete... do you have any questions?"

After the registration process, I asked Tristan if he could talk to me a little bit.

Normally, a newcomer who has just signed up for the Adventurer's Union would not be able to talk to the Adventurer's Union Leader so easily, but in my case, I fought with him and became quite close to him, and if I had a little, I would have been guided to the office.

Well, I've guessed my identity a bit, and that's probably why I'm here.

The Adventurer's Union's ability to collect information is quite high, and it is sufficient that it has already been investigated, such as the Duchess who recently brought international students from other countries.

In the first place, I don't hide that I came to this country at all, so I can easily find out about it.

After that, in light of my skills and rumors, and considering the details of the previous battle, it seemed that it would not be difficult to arrive at an answer.

"Yes, it's not a big deal... but if a new labyrinth were to be found in this Holy Land, would you be willing to give me a hand if I told you that I would secretly hire some skilled adventurers to explore it?"

That's why I asked quite clearly and honestly, without hiding anything.

Tristan the Rock was surprised at this too, and he opened his eyes and asked me if I could catch him.

"... um, could you wait a minute?" I may have heard you wrong... can you tell me again? "

"I don't mind." When I found a new labyrinth, I said, "If you find a new labyrinth, maybe you can help me with an adventurer or something."

"...... Where should I ask......"

In my words, Tristan held his head and then approached the magic props in the corner of the room, putting something like a switch in it.

At that moment, a magic field enveloped the entire office.

Probably a magic tool that prevents eavesdropping and soundproofing.

I don't know if I don't look at the magic tools in detail, but there are parts that I can understand sensibly, so I think there's no doubt about it.

In fact, Tristan said.

"It sounds like a terrible story to me... I was allowed to use soundproof magic tools." It may be unpleasant for the ladies, but I don't want you to worry about it because I don't have any other intentions. "

“I don't mind it in particular.”

It was a dialogue because if I had to, I could escape.

A normal lady would care.

Especially if that's the lady.

"I see? Well, I see." Some people start to say things like the new labyrinth... so how seriously are you going to say it? "

I'm serious about everything.

Yeah, I'm serious about everything.

I came to this adventurer's union for that reason.

Become an adventurer, hire a skilled adventurer, and dive into the labyrinth.

I usually get a lot of problems when I ask, so I became an adventurer myself, and I decided to solve a lot of problems by talking directly to the leader of the Adventurer's Union.

In fact, this is how we met, and it's up to us to discuss it with Tristan.

Tristan shakes his head to the side at my words.

"... well, I know you mean it." But feel free to say it's a new labyrinth, but it's not that easy to find. Of course, it is said to exist all over the world, and in fact, it has been found in many places. Every year, one or two can be found, including unpublished ones, which may be several times higher. However, those are areas that have never been explored before, and these are the ones that the adventurers are willing to explore at their own risk and finally find. Or rather, a pretty good fortune. And yet you're going to find something like that in this country? In the first place, you came to this country a few days ago, right? in such a state..... "

He said he couldn't.

Well, it looks like Tristan knows who I am.

Well, he called himself Elaine without hiding his name, so he must have easily figured it out.

The staff didn't seem to know.

The name Elaine is the name of many people in this country, so there is no choice.

I tell Tristan.

I didn't say I was going to look anywhere.

Tristan's expression hardened.

Because I immediately understood the meaning of my words.

And he told me to squeeze it out of my throat.

"Well... do you think... you've already found it?" a new labyrinth..... "

What if I say yes?

"... report it immediately and announce it..."

"I don't want to. That's why I came here so I could talk to you. I wonder if I can do something about it."

"... why? It's an honor to find the Labyrinth?" Besides, you get a lot of benefits. Well, since you're from another country, it would be difficult to assert any rights directly, but if you do, you'll get a lot of money by consulting with the government. And yet.... "

"I want to tear down the labyrinth without anyone knowing." That's why I don't want to announce it. "

"... I never thought I'd be told that I haven't had a clap so far." What the hell is it for? It's a new labyrinth. I don't know what's in there. I don't know how deep it is, how dangerous it is, and how useful it is. How could you do that? "

This is a question that I'm sure Tristan will have.

My behavior is too sudden from the edge.

However, from my point of view, it is extremely clear and the reason is clear.

I want to get a powerful weapon out of her hands that Lilly will find someday.

The place where it is is the labyrinth of the matter, and I know how deep it is and how many opponents it has, roughly speaking, I know from her.

Therefore, I know from the beginning that it can be sufficiently broken while developing a certain amount of countermeasures.

That's all there is to it.

But I also know that people who suddenly believe in these stories are not there first.

If there is, there is only one.

Celine. Just her.

And her presence here and now tells Tristan exactly what I have to say.

I tell Tristan.

"...... Tristan, do you know the power of [Prophecy]?"

"[Prophecy]? No... I only know what it's like to be in a fairy tale, but is that it?"

In this day and age, Celine hasn't publicized it yet.

I have already announced that it was the previous time, but I am still refraining from doing so this time.

This is because she is concerned that by exercising her powers, she will deviate significantly from the future I remember.

As far as I'm concerned, it's already different from the previous time, so I don't mind letting the public know at any time, but Celine only tells people she still trusts.

I think it would be a waste for me because it is a very useful power that can connect with many aristocrats if it spreads, but... I think this is a bad idea.

I made a lot of mistakes thinking like that the other day.

Strong power attracts strong darkness.

Celine probably understands better than I do that she should be treated with care.

Nonetheless, the previous announcement was made early to contain my movement.

If you had done something strange, I would have crushed it first.

Well, in Celine's personality, Elaine, I'm begging you, so I thought it was a calm feeling not to go in a strange direction.

At that time, I could only understand very aggressively.

I think you were really stupid.

Anyway, the power of Celine's prophecy is not yet known in modern times, which is why Tristan only knows it in fairy tales.

However, the story that the fairy tale contains a glimmer of truth is somewhat widespread.

That's why we can talk from there.

I tell Tristan.

"The person who actually has the power to appear in that fairy tale is in my acquaintance. He told me. In this holy kingdom, to break the labyrinth that is in a certain place. so that you can get something in the deepest part of it."

"... that's ridiculous. That's why it's true..."

"You don't think so? But then you won't even find the labyrinth, will you?"

"... well, I wonder if that's what's going to happen." If you found the labyrinth because of the prophecy. "

"I'm telling you that's true."

Then, Tristan's expression was clearly relaxed.

"What...? Then there's no labyrinth." Well then, I'll tell you this story here..... "

"I don't want you to do it at the end, so I just need to ask you one favor before I do it." And make a promise. "

Is there something?

"Please, it's easy. I want you to put someone in the labyrinth where the prophet told me." Then you'll know I'm telling the truth. ”

"... well, if that's all, I can accept it as a request." It's just a special request from Elaine-san. "

"Thank you."

"So, what's the deal?"

If you find a labyrinth, I want you to find an adventurer to explore it with me.

"... you really believe in that prophecy, don't you?"

Tristan had a dazed expression on his face, but I understood that feeling.

But whatever happens, this is a story we need to hear.

When I think about it, and I look at him hard, and in the end,

"... haha. Well, that's fine." If you find the labyrinth, you promise to do so. Because you can't be found. It's just a fantasy. "

If that's what you think, can I add a little?

"...... this time, shall I ask you?"

If you find a labyrinth, don't report it anywhere.

"Oh, it's about the church in my country, isn't it?" If it's true, it's bad... "

"If you don't believe you can find me, you don't mind me promising you will, do you?"

"... ok, ok. Well, let's do it. But on the other hand, if you can't find it....."

What if you can't find it?

"Can you give me a little flexibility with the [Magic Shield]?" Well, I'm not going to the Holy Land at all. Isn't your trading partner quite narrow? "

It became clear to me that Tristan knew who I was.

The content of the proposal is, of course, quite demanding for me.

That's because the [Magic Shield] is a military resource that can't be easily distributed to other countries.

Of course, due to the magic tower's sales, it is distributed in other countries, but it distributes items with lower performance than those held by Istvor's army and knights.

Tristan is not talking about this low performance, but about the original performance.

Normally, I don't accept suggestions that I should flush such things.

That's why I told you, but I don't care.

It's not about shedding, it's about making this promise.

Anyway, there was definitely a labyrinth.

I know.

That's why it's impossible for Tristan's proposal to become a reality.

I said.

Okay, okay, okay.

"... what?"

“I said I understood. That's why you accept my story, right?"

Tristan lost his voice for a moment in my confidence, but I still didn't think that my story about Yuta would come true.

"... Very well. I accept all your suggestions." That's good, isn't it? "

"Thank you, Tristan. Now I can go home with peace of mind."

That was the end of the discussion at the Adventurer's Union.
